***$250 goal met! $400 stretch goal met! Can we raise even more?!***

2020 certainly has been strange and unpredictable, but you know what hasn't been? Your ability to rely on CHIRP Radio for diverse, indpendent music, conversations with local artists, community engagement and support, and live DJs every day who are connecting and commiserating with their listeners.

These days, the thing I most look forward to is going into the station on Thursdays to play music for an amazing community of CHIRP supporters. It has gotten me more smoothly through quarantine and continues to lift my spirits each week. I truly hope that recognizing the value the station has given to myself and so many others during this year (and the past 10 years!) inspires you to donate and help keep CHIRP strong for decades to come!

Whether you're here because you already support CHIRP, because you are a lover of good music, or because you know me and saw my ask for help, I sincerely urge you to chip in — CHIRP needs your support!

YOU CAN GET A SHIRT I DESIGNED!

As we offered in the Spring, you have one more chance this drive to get a custom-designed CHIRP record tee—designed by yours truly—for a donation of $120 (or more), or for becoming a sustaining member at just $10/month. Alternatively, you can also donate at the $60 level (or $5/month membership) for the same design on a Moleskine notebook. And for a $240 donation (or $20/month membership) you get a CHIRP-branded travel thermos.

WANT ONE? Simply head over to CHIRP's main donation page, give at the appropriate donation or sustaining membership level, choose my name from the drop down menu—and BAM! You'll get your very own limited-edition CHIRP swag! Check out the design below...

I know times are tough and wallets may be lighter than normal, but every gift is sincerely apprecited! Even if you can't give at a high level, every contribution is still very important. Every single dollar helps get us closer to our goal! 

Help CHIRP continue putting the unity in community radio.

We've been here for you throughout this challenging year - now, we need you to be here for us!

This wasn't how we anticipated spending our tenth anniversary year. Instead of parties and open studio events, we've spent the last six months, one DJ at a time in a carefully disinfected studio, keeping you connected while we all worked to stay safe. We've worked hard to amplify the voices of local artists who can't play live and local venues who were first to close, and to help you feel less alone at a time when it's easy to feel distant from your community.

But we've been hanging in there, and we hope you have too. We're still here every single day, live and local, commercial-free, with great music brought to you by true music fans. If you believe in this work, and if you're able, we hope you'll support the station with a gift today.

If you would like to become a sustaining member by making a recurring donation (monthly or quarterly), or if you want to select a thank you gift, please visit CHIRP's main donation page to make your contribution (and don’t forget to enter the name of the CHIRP Volunteer or DJ in the “How did you hear about CHIRP” section so they can receive credit for your gift).
